CPR CHEST COMPRESSION MACHINE ADJUSTING MOTION-TIME PROFILE IN VIEW OF DETECTED FORCE |
(57) A CPR machine (100) is configured to perform, on a patient's (182) chest, compressions
that alternate with releases. The CPR machine includes a compression mechanism (148),
and a driver system (141) configured to drive the compression mechanism. A force sensing
system (149) may sense a compression force, and the driving can be adjusted accordingly
if there is a surprise. For instance, driving may have been automatic according to
a motion-time profile, which is adjusted if the compression force is not as expected
(850). An optional chest-lifting device (152) may lift the chest between the compressions,
to assist actively the decompression of the chest. A lifting force may be sensed,
and the motion-time profile can be adjusted if the compression force or the lifting
force is not as expected.
